What is a herbalist
Tryavyanchiki
, or as they are also called, ecomen, in Lately regain their lost popularity. They first appeared in Soviet times and decorated many kitchens. A grasshopper is a small fabric figurine in the form of a man or an animal, which, after watering, grows a small forelock of grass. By regularly watering your “pet”, you can get a real green corner in the house that does not require special care. Ready-made herbs are in the assortment of many stores, but it is much more interesting to offer children to make it with their own hands.
To create an eco-man, you need to prepare the following materials:
basis for grass;
grass seeds;
needle and thread;
sawdust;
plate or tray.
As a basis, you can use any materials at hand - an old sock, gauze, a wide bandage or a nylon stocking. Grass seeds should be selected according to your own preferences. So, for example, if you want to make a herb that will please the eye with greenery for several years, you can buy perennial seeds lawn grass.
If you have pets, you can put the seeds of a special grass into the herbalist for them. This delicacy will appeal to cats, dogs, guinea pigs and even parrots. Seeds of such grass are sold in pet stores. If you can’t find grass seeds, you can put any cereals into the herbalist - rye, wheat, oats or barley. Preliminarily, it is desirable to sort out the grains from the husks and straws. Sawdust can be purchased at any pet store - they will serve as the main filler for the toy. To create one person, you need only a few handfuls of sawdust, you should consider this when buying.
If desired, in needlework stores you can buy eyes and other details that will revive the eco-man.
Step-by-step instructions for making a herbalist
1. The stocking or sock should be cut with scissors in such a way that a small sleeve up to 10-15 centimeters long is obtained. If gauze or bandage is used, they must be sewn together to form a similar sleeve. Immediately you need to cut a few thin strips of matter - they will come in handy as ties. The strongest ties are obtained from nylon tights.
2. One end of the stocking should be tied up with a previously prepared tie. After that, the workpiece must be turned inside out to get a kind of bag with a knot inward.
3. If the herbalist will be a vertically located toy, first of all, seeds should be poured to the bottom of the bag, and after sawdust. The main thing is that the seeds are at the top of the craft. If the herbalist will be located horizontally (for example, you can make a hedgehog or a turtle out of a stocking), then first you should pour sawdust into the bag and only then pour the seeds on one side, which will be at the top. It is advisable to pre-soak the seeds for 5-6 hours.
4. Sawdust should be slightly moistened - so they are better compacted and form a good shape. After filling, the upper edge is also tightly tied. It is very important to make strong knots - so that in the future the contents do not spill out.
5. At this stage, you need to turn on the fantasy and come up with his herbalist appearance. So, depending on the location of the seeds, you can make a hedgehog, a frog, a tiger cub, a bear, a dog or a caterpillar. In order to make the head, legs or segments of the body, you need to bandage the filled bag in a certain place. Ideas for creativity can be gleaned from other people's work or invent something of your own, it is not necessary to make an existing animal, it can turn out to be an alien or some kind of miracle Yudo. With the help of ties, you can form not only the head, but also the nose, ears, horns or tail. In the process of creating a toy, periodically check it for stability.
6. In order for the herb to come to life, he needs to glue his eyes and mouth. As a peephole, you can use both blanks from shops for creativity, and the most ordinary buttons. Also, eyes can be made from cardboard or felt by cutting out a light oval for the eye itself and a dark one for the pupil.
7. You can add brightness to crafts if you paint its surface acrylic paints. Gouache and watercolor are not suitable for this, as they get your hands dirty and are washed off after getting water. Acrylic is resistant to water, and the toy will remain beautiful for a long time.
8. At the final stage, you need to thoroughly soak the herb with water. In order for the grass to germinate, the toy must be kept in a container of water for at least 2-3 hours. Well, if the water is slightly warmed up. If you intend to create several herbalists, you can conduct a small experiment. So, one figure needs to be soaked with ordinary water, and the second with an aqueous solution of a plant growth stimulant. Then it remains to observe the growth of grass on crafts with the child and draw the appropriate conclusions.
Grass care
The finished toy must be installed on a plate or a special tray - this is necessary so that it does not drip onto surrounding objects, but lingers in the stand. Further, the eco-man needs to be placed in some bright place (for example, a window sill or a balcony) and wait for the moment when the first sprouts appear from it.
Periodically, you need to monitor the moisture level of the fabric enveloping the herb. From time to time it is necessary to moisten it with water from a watering can or from a spray bottle. Children will be happy to take care of their new pet and watch the result of their labors. The first sprouts of grass will appear on the surface of the toy in 2 days.
If the age and level of perseverance of the child allows, you can make a diary of observations. So, in a notebook or an ordinary sheet, you need to draw the fields of the table and mark three times a day how much the stems grow. As the grass grows, the child can also take photos of their craft. When the grass grows strongly and begins to disintegrate in different directions, you can captivate the child with a grass cut. With scissors or just with your hands, you need to remove the tips of the sprouts, leaving up to 2/3 of their length. So you can experiment with various types haircuts - half-box, mohawk and everything that fantasy allows. By dividing the blades of grass into two parts and tying each with a bow, you can make a grass girl. By the way, the haircut has a positive effect on the toy - the removal of long stems gives the grass new strength, and over time, the appearance of the grass will only improve. If there are pets in the house, they can do the “haircut” on their own - such grass is very useful for them, it contains many vitamins that are inaccessible to animals living in the apartment. If you have to leave the herb alone for several days, in order to prevent it from drying out, after watering the toy should be wrapped plastic bag. It will help reduce evaporation and conserve valuable moisture.

How to make a do-it-yourself herbalist
A grasshopper is not at all difficult to make with your own hands with a child. In order to make a herbalist with children, you will need small sawdust and lawn grass seeds, as well as a sheath for a herbalist (for example, nylon tights or even a sock), decorative elements for decoration (eyes, artificial flowers, bows, ribbons - optional) , glue, scissors, nylon threads, acrylic paints and a brush (if you paint).
Most of all, a grasshopper made of nylon tights or knee-highs will look like a store-bought one. We invent a character and get to work.
1. Cut out a fragment about 25-30 cm long from the tights. We sew one end, and then pour sawdust and seeds into the resulting bag, compact it. We sew up the stuffed weed.
The herb can be of any shape, but usually a ball or cylinder is used as a blank for the character. Seeds should be located in the area of \u200b\u200bthe back and head of the future herb.
2. Using a thick nylon thread (or strips cut from tights), we form the head, paws, ears, and other elements you need. To do this, we grab a part of the grass, twist and tie.
3. You can move on to decorating. Draw eyes with acrylic paints or glue the finished eyes on waterproof glue. You can paint the whole grass, you can tie a bow around his neck or give him a flower in his paws. Anything, the main thing is the water resistance of the decor. We place the finished herbalist on plastic plate, which can also be decorated, for example, to imitate a lawn. Next, with a do-it-yourself grass weed, we act by analogy with the store: we soak, let the grass germinate in the light, cut it and rejoice. Don't forget to give the herb a name and make up a funny story about it.

Cups can be painted with a marker or decorated with finished elements: glue eyes, paper clothes, etc. Watering such herbs should be done in the usual way. The grass grows very quickly and is also suitable for cutting. Group the herbs on a small tray, you get a spectacular and very inexpensive decoration for the children's room (and the windowsill will not suffer when the baby waters his green friends).
